Study on thickness effects of low carbon steel in rapid cooling process
Hot stamping is among the latest technology applied in sheet metal manufacturing. It is a combination of a forming and rapid cooling to produce stronger products with the creation of martensite inside the sheet metal components.

Hot stamping is among the latest technology applied in sheet metal manufacturing.

To cope with a huge range of sheet metal that suitably used for hot forming process, this research investigates microstructure changes during the rapid cooling process of three different sheet metal thicknesses. The Low Carbon Steel specimens of 2, 4 and 6mm thick were heated in a furnace to austenite region before immediately quenched in water and normalized in air.
